MonarchBase: the monarch butterfly genome database [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2012 The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is emerging as a model organism to study the mechanisms of circadian clocks and animal navigation, and the genetic underpinnings of long-distance migration. The initial assembly of the monarch genome was released in 2011, and the biological interpretation of the genome focused on the butterfly's migration ...

Insects, 2019 The monarch butterfly in North America has suffered a serious population decline since the mid-1990s. The introduction and widespread use of neonicotinoid insecticides during the same time period has been suggested as a potential driver of this decline ...

Estimating Milkweed Abundance in Metropolitan Areas Under Existing and User-Defined Scenarios
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Metropolitan areas play an undetermined role in supporting migratory monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) populations despite providing habitat areas rich with milkweed (Asclepias spp.), the obligate host plants for monarch larvae.

Navigational mechanisms of migrating monarch butterflies [PDF]
Trends in Neurosciences, 2010 Recent studies of the iconic fall migration of monarch butterflies have illuminated the mechanisms behind their southward navigation while using a time-compensated sun compass. Skylight cues, such as the sun itself and polarized light, are processed through both eyes and are probably integrated in the brain's central complex, the presumed site of the ...

Effects of Cry1Ab-Expressing Corn Anthers on Monarch Butterfly Larvae [PDF]
, 2004 Previous studies suggest that exposure to corn, Zea mays L., anthers expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-derived protein may have adverse effects on the larvae of monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus (L.). To examine the potential effects of Bt anthers

The Role of Modeling in Monarch Butterfly Research and Conservation
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Models are an integral part of the scientific endeavor, whether they be conceptual, mathematical, statistical, or simulation models. Models of appropriate complexity facilitate comprehension and improve understanding of the variables driving system ...
